First Person

This compilation of first person shooter benchmarks includes an older benchmark set of which some we have also retired.Presented for backwards comparison purposes.

Note that we test performance GPUs at very high or ultra settings, therefore the frame rates mentioned may be worst case examples, regardless comparing the varying sample of games (and game engines) we have here, 960 gives get great performance for US $199, and yes it does run Crysis...

Bioshock Infinite, a DX11 title based on an Unreal Engine includes a replicable benchmark mode that flies around several maps including in the single play campaign. Unfortunately this benchmark does not include any AI and is mainly graphics focused.

We want to focus on min and average frame rates here, the max frame rates in this particular test are quite inconsistent and unrealistic, based on peculiarities in how the benchmark changes scenes.

The min fps are significant, and give a 'playable' experience on their own compared to the other cards, and like Dirt 3 we see about 20 FPS increase in average frame rates, great. Pity about the lack of AI in the benchmark though. Note that Bioshock was an AMD Gaming Evolved title.
